A new show with an old host. Donn At Night features pieces from Donn Trethewey’s collection of music — same as the old Cardboard Box program (reprises of Music from That Cardboard Box are currently airing Mondays, 8-9:30am). Bartok to the Beatles and everything in between. Will the old, official, band of the Cardboard Box program, show up (The Rolling Stones)? Would a betting person bet the farm that they wouldn’t? Tune in to find out. Contact Donn.

They discuss Kathleen’s most recent book, Take Heart, Encouragement for Earth’s Weary Lovers.

(Airdate: April 18, 2023) Maryanne interviews Sophie Nordstrom, Superior Court Administrator for Jefferson County. As a young woman Sophie raised kids and had a series of jobs in the service industry. But about the time she turned 40 she made a decision to do something more meaningful with her career. First, she decided to go to school to become a legal secretary. After earning a degree, she landed a job with the county clerk’s office here in Jefferson County. She loved it and flourished under the pressure. When the job of Superior Court Administrator opened up, she threw her hat into the ring. She’s never looked back. You could say all the business in our courthouse passes under her eagle eye.
